West Henly and the north pits
Aggregate trucks between Blanco and the stone pits
West Henly Materials, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 9.8 miles north of Blanco. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that shuttle aggregate off a pit like that often stay parked at the yard between loads, so if yours is there, give us the gate address and who can let us in.
Further up toward Johnson City, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Johnson City Crushed Stone 13.1 miles north-west of town, and ROX, Inc., a dimension-stone operation, 13.6 miles to the south-east. A tractor that pulled cut stone or road base from either site can be collected where it sits; send photos of the cab, the frame and the bed or trailer, plus the VIN, and we plan the pickup from there.
Lowboys, tankers, feed
Machinery and tank loads on Blanco’s carrier list
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 52 active motor carriers in Blanco, and 20 of them mark general freight while 18 mark machinery and large objects. If your rig moved equipment on a lowboy or step-deck, tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind, and we will send a driver set up for whichever it is.
Liquids and gases appear on 9 of those Blanco carrier filings in the same federal census, and farm supplies on 7. Tankers and feed haulers carry their own permits and plates; have the registration and any tank inspection certificates together before we arrive so the handover at your place takes one visit.
Ranch, builder and stone-yard trucks that stay in Texas
In FMCSA’s carrier census for this town, 47 outfits operate intrastate and just 4 cross state lines, and 26 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck owned by a ranch, a builder or a stone yard rather than a for-hire outfit sells the same way: the name on the title is the person or business that signs it over to us.
The same FMCSA filings show 14 carriers reporting mileage, with a median of 24,192 miles per truck each year. Write the odometer reading down when you first contact us and include a photo of the dash, so the figure we work from is the one on your truck.
New registrations stay small in this town: FMCSA’s census shows 4 carriers added in 2024 and 2 in 2025. If you are one of those newer outfits winding down a single truck, the steps are the same as for a long-standing fleet, starting with a clear title in hand.
Top of the roster
Blanco operations with fourteen to thirty-six tractors
Blanco’s biggest registered operation reports 36 power units and 22 drivers in the FMCSA carrier census, the next 19 units and 14 drivers, and the third 14 units with 7 drivers. A fleet selling several tractors at once can list them together; send a sheet with each VIN and where each one is parked.
Driver counts in that federal census split 67 working inside the short-haul radius and 75 going past it. Trucks on longer routes may be away from Blanco when you decide to sell, so tell us where the truck will be on the day and we will meet it there.
Keeping inspection papers with a Blanco truck
Between March 2025 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 27 trucks from Blanco carriers, with a median model year of 2015, and about 56 percent of those inspected units were ten or more model years old.
Whatever the year on your truck, keep a recent inspection report or service log in the cab for the day we come. Those papers, along with the registration, let us confirm the truck matches its VIN without extra calls.
Factory floor and ranch gate
Manufacturing, building crews and cattle near Blanco
Manufacturing holds 135 of Blanco’s 1,189 jobs and construction 95, by the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 41 construction establishments, so dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies working local job sites are common to see on the way into town.
Ranching shows up in the countryside around Blanco, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 776 farms in Blanco County, led by cattle, potted flowering plants and horses. A cattle hauler, a nursery delivery truck or a stock trailer rig parked out on a ranch can be picked up there; send directions past the last county road turn.
Titles in Texas come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and its local counter for this town is the Blanco County Tax Office at 101 E. Cypress in Johnson City, 12.4 miles away by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ office listing. Like the state’s other county tax assessor-collector offices, it handles a copy of a title when the original is missing.
If the title is lost or still shows a lien that has been cleared on paper, start that request before you contact us; the signed title is the document we need at pickup. Bring your ID and the VIN to the Johnson City office.
